Glidden & Williams' Line for San Francisco. The famous “Extreme Clipper Ship” Colorful 1864 California Gold Rush Clipper Ship Ad Card
1864 California Gold Rush Period, Clipper Ship Decorative Advertising Card, Promoting the Clipper Ship “RATTLER” of the “Glidden & Williams’ Line,” Choice Very Fine.
This is an original, truly historic California Gold Rush Period Decorative Clipper Ship Advertising Card, measuring 5.5” x 3.5” printed in multi-colors upon a porcelain coated heavy card stock. This vibrant Advertising Card shows Civil War soldiers next to a huge parrot gun, an American flag flies in the background. A young Black man is stacking cannon balls next to the massive gun. This card announces the Ship is, “To Sail on or Before Jan. 12, 1864.” The card has been slightly trimmed at both top and bottom margins having a fine 1” tear which has been sealed on blank reverse side with an archival tape. A different (less exciting) design Ad Card for the Ship “RATTLER” date 1865, sold in a West Coast auction of the Alex Schwed Collection of Clipper Ship Cards, in October 2010 for $2,700. A great looking 1864 California Gold Rush Clipper Ship Ad Card that has a lot of eye appeal, that would look great on display.
